BarryK, sorry about the hiatus, I have been very busy on other things. The short version is:
When I am booting purely off the CD, when I have not copied the /usr data and the pup001 data to my V drive, the messages are "device not found". /dev/hdg is not present at all, in no way shape or form, when I am booting purely off the CD, and this is reported by diskpart and probepart and ls /dev/hd*. But when I copy the /usr data and pup001 data to my V drive, /dev/hdg etcetera are present, and all is well.
Because of this, I cannot simply copy/paste the error messages, because all I have is root command line when the error messages are present!
Booting CD, /usr not found

Well, I have to finalise 1.0.4 tomorrow...
I can probably make an improvement based on feedback from "Guest".
Running in VMware, disktype is reporting "Track 1: Data track 0 bytes", so I can get the boot script to detect that condition and fallback to probepart, then it should detect the iso9660 filesystem.

I did a bit of rearranging.
Sorry, no digital camera 
I have, however, just set up my drive partition situation differently, so that there is a FAT32 partition visible to the CD-only-boot command line (I converted my M: to FAT32). So, I can now paste the full text of dmesg, and the full text of ls -CF /dev/hd*. I hope it is very obvious that probepart cannot return anything useful using a devicename that is not present in /dev!
"dmesg":
and "ls -CF /dev/hd*":
